The analysis in the bug report was that the cause is a buggy BIOS. As long as
we're talking about one single (relatively obscure?) system that seems fine.
However, the problem now also shows up for a completely different system from a
different manufacturer with probably a completely different BIOS. A system
which has never shown any problems in this area, at least not that I have
noticed.
My question is: are you still 100% sure that this *is* a BIOS or hardware
problem, or is that new info reason to reconsider and examine if maybe after
all there is an error somewhere in the kernel itself that results in these
invalid readings?
The Clevo had a Phoenix BIOS. From dmidecode for my system:
BIOS Information
Vendor: Hewlett-Packard
Version: 68MSP Ver. F.0C
Release Date: 06/18/2008
P.S. I've just sent a patch to remove the spurious newline from the warning
message: the ACPI_CA_VERSION should not be printed on a separate line.
